Publisher's Synopsis
Christian hospitality is about people and relationships, not just spaces. It goes beyond opening our homes or extending invitations--it's about cultivating a posture of welcome that reflects God's presence and generosity wherever we go. Becoming a Person of Welcome provides an expanded vision of hospitality as a spiritual practice, offering practical steps and thoughtful reflections for those eager to embody God's heart for welcome in their communities and lead others to do the same.
Laura Baghdassarian Murray challenges common assumptions about hospitality and invites readers to reframe their understanding, shifting from outward performance to inward transformation. Through heartfelt stories from her Armenian heritage, contemporary community life, and years in church leadership, Murray offers a new vision of hospitality--one that moves beyond performance and privilege to a life shaped by God's welcome of us.
